Vietnam has made big strides toward normalization over the years since the Vietnam War ended. Decades ago, who would have predicted that Vietnam could teach the United States, let alone the world, something about water management? The country now has won the Stockholm Industry Water Award in recognition of how it delivers water to its population, and water experts have noticed.
Jim Lauria, vice president of marketing and business development at Amiad Filtration Systems Ltd. in Oxnard, Calif., was paying attention and has lots to say. His blog "Water Management Lessons from an Unlikely Source" at The Huffington Post describes Phnom Penh's success at creating a water-delivery infrastructure that efficiently and affordably provides water to its citizens. Lauria contrasts the Vietnamese system to that of the United States, noting that America's is in need of an overhaul, one that is long overdue.
